The ..2012.... Political thread

Looks like they're called "nasty conservatives" for a reason :
-
Yep, they are nasty and capable of anything. Rich n posted a link to a doctored article they is easily apparent. The republican/conservatives in the US are our cross to bear.

And you said who was reaching? Fortunately, I think you're the only one to believe that baloney as it's pasted all over the news as we speak. And of course that last comment is typical violent rhetoric from the extreme left (not to mention, not very becoming of a 'true' Paul McCartney fan )...You should write this stuff up in your next Daily KOS blog...I'm sure your fellow Klingon cohorts/worshippers will give you some 'cyber' high fives

Obama urges togetherness in speech for Arizona shooting victims, says Giffords has opened her eyes http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2011/01/12/2011-01-12_obama_visits_giffords_arizona_shooting_victims_at_tucson_hospital_ahead_of_mucha.html "At a time when our discourse has become so sharply polarized - at a time when we are far too eager to lay the blame for all that ails the world at the feet of those who think differently than we do - it's important for us to pause for a moment and make sure that we are talking with each other in a way that heals, not a way that wounds," he said.

Definitely good news about Giffords' progresss thus far...hopefully she can move on and continue with her career

That man needs to never see the sunlight as a free man again.

You all stayed pretty calm
peaceful, isn't it ... : : :
...a democratic president signs a bill that a republican dominated congress and senate want passed...and then when the bill rightfully fails...the republicans blame it on the democrat ...Where have we heard this before?

If your comment was directed at me, rest assured I have never been referred to as a "nasty" anything in my entire life. If it was an unprovoked putdown of conservatives in general, rest assured you are wrong about many of them -- millions and millions of them, in fact.

The folks that can't think for themselves from the extreme left can't comprehend the idea individualism and freedom of choice...it's basically a cult to take that stuff away...I'm glad folks opened their eyes this past November and changed the direction of our political landscape...although in my home state, we shamefully still have to deal with the likes of Patrick Duval, 'Bawney' Frank and a number of other hypocrites...er...I mean Democrats...I mean in Barney Frank's case, he used his Washington DC office to run a prostitution ring and got caught...and yet people around here still want that moron as a public servant. PS - I think they were calling me 'nasty' because they can't handle opposing views. We hear about a shooting that involved Gabby Giffords as well as 6 folks that were killed and felt true remorse...then come here to see some folks using this incident to fulfill a political agenda...we put aside our feelings of sorrow, tell them to go pound sand - then twist facts around and try to accuse us of not feeling compassion (somewhere thrown in all this was some comment that it's Sarah's fault because she shot Bambi - how dare someone live off the land up in Alaska : ) But the best part was to find out that if something is not in the Daily KOS. it doesn't (and never has) existed - how about that???

First: Ironically, "individualism" and "freedom" are the very principles that BOTH sides champion. Second: You characterize America as "waking up" by this past November's mid-term elections. This is not without precedent. America woke up in Reagan's first term, as well...and Reagan's party lost control of BOTH Houses. Obama's party lost only one. Third: Say what ya' want about Barney Frank. I couldn't care less. He's got strong ideals -- I remember when he used to follow them. Sorry he's still a thorn in your state's side.

No doubt the pendulum swings both ways and there will be a time when the very extreme right once again scares people back the other way - For both sides of the isle, it's about enticing the vote with nice shiny coins (figuratively)...What you saw last November as well as what you noted from the Reagan era will never stop occurring - people get enticed, then fed up when the substance isn't there and their lives remain largely unchanged

It's funny - I think most of America would see it the other way around when the savage left went on the attack against Sarah Palin...most Republicans don't even care for Sarah (at least as a politician), yet saw the ruthless manner in which she was attacked...it was an ugly moment in the history of Democrats...But what they hey, like I said - I call them as I see'em and to show my fairness could come up with any number of examples of both Republicans and Democrats going 'savage' on each other this past November.

No, most Americans do not see it the other way around.

Other way around of what? There is not some mythical 'other way around' - Dems danced on the graves of those killed in Arizona to score some brownie points, then held some presidential pep rally (are you going to tell me the crowd behavior of 'people died -yay' is appropriate?)

I came back in here to state I felt badly for being part of the problem, not the solution, when I cursed and name-called earlier. I still feel badly about some of my prior words, but feel offended by the above post. I certainly didn't perceive that "Dems danced on the graves" of the dead in Tucson "to score brownie points," that they were actually gleeful and gloating (how could anybody be, over what happened?), or consider the memorial service Pres. Obama spoke at, to be a political "pep rally." Perhaps Sarah Palin really was made a scapegoat in this catastrophe, and too much and too often, or perhaps not. Perhaps some of the uproar is justified... I didn't major in political science. So, there's much I don't comprehend. But sometimes your gut response and initial perceptions hold elements of truth. I've heard her gun imagery and rhetoric, seen the cross hairs targets on the map, etc. But I never viewed every one of her values as wrong or perverse. Some of them are positive and valid. Yet the overall impression is that this person Palin is totally unsuited to be leader of the free world, it's just a ludicrous, preposterous idea. And she really does appear to have become more tarnished by the latest brouhaha over her words and actions.

Certainly a question I have...btw, I thought the President himself handle the situation fine and showed respect...it was the audience who I have a bone to pick with in regards to the memorial

Let remember that the victim herself called Sarah out when Palin was talking the load and reload talk and using the target. She herself felt threaten. So who cares what Fox and Friends feel. It only matters what she felt. Every citizen has the right to feel safe regardless of there position. If we put out calls like this against Palin and she got blown away. We be having this same conversion from the right instead. I admit, the Left wouldn't be mourning her at all and Obama wouldn't of done a speech. I sure Alaska would lower the totem pole a notch other than that I would imagine it would be a "Oh Wow moment but next story. I don't believe the country would feel as much sympathy for a blow hard as they do for a public official .

In case you haven't heard the public has rejected the idea "overwhelmingly" that conservative talk radio and fox news rhetoric had nothing to do with what contribute to this killing....I heard this on Fox News in case you hadn't heard it anywhere else on the planet.
